What Hacker News says?

  1. Postgres 11 doesn't follow the standard at all (as per your link). A third party implemented the standard [0] which was submitted on pghackers[1] very late in the Postgres 11 cycle[2] (at 75k gzipped the patch is pretty humongous). A quick googling doesn't show any information pertaining it being integrated (in part or full) into pg12 so IDK. edit: apparently https://commitfest.postgresql.org/17/1471/ has been "Wait…

  5. If your operations are tied in some way to government, it might be required that software you are using have legally recognizable developer or owner, officially certified by competent government structures (e.g. in terms of being secure) and/or has someone who is contractually obliged to help you resolve any issues you might face while using it. I would assume Oracle has a very strong presences in Russia in those te…

  9. >Web 3.0 Is that what we're calling this whole 30 lines of javascript, mongo and redis behind the WAN, dynamic language runtime inside the DB era? Cool. EDIT: saying that, some kind of featureful document store implementation inside postgres seems inevitable. Isn't that all going to be hstore-based though, what with the new stuff coming in 9.4? I thought the json type was meant to be kind of a stopgap until the full…

  13. Postgresql has gradually and intelligently been incorporating NoSql features e.g: hstore, hstore2, json, jsonb, etc. There are powerful features like indexing, etc. There are even cases where performance has been found to be better than e.g: mongo: source: http://obartunov.livejournal.com/175235.html There is a lot of momentum behind the improvements/additions. We will be seeing much more NoSql in 9.4, 9.5, and beyo…
